Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An increasing number of courts ... hold that the right of innocent coinsureds to recover after fraud or misrepresentation by an insured is based upon the language of the insurance policy. Thus, a provision voiding a policy for willful and fraudulent misrepresentation by “the insured” before or after a loss voids the policy only for the person(s) responsible for the fraud and not for innocent coin-sureds. On the other hand, a provision voiding a policy for fraud or misrepresentation by “any insured” expresses an intent to create joint obligations, [and] therefore prohibits recovery by innocent coinsureds.”
